Gallbladder removal surgery for people with liver disease
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a gallbladder removal technique that may be gentler on people with liver disease. It aims to reduce risks during surgery for those with cirrhosis and gallstones.

This trial tests whether older adults (75+) who have had bile duct stones removed will benefit from also having their gallbladder taken out. It aims to prevent future problems by comparing outcomes for those who get the surgery versus those who don't.
This study tests a method to remove bile duct stones during gallbladder surgery, aiming to treat both problems in one procedure.
This trial compares two different methods for removing the gallbladder during laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery. It aims to see if one method causes fewer problems or is easier for patients like you.
This trial tests a one-time procedure that removes stones from both the gallbladder and the bile duct. It may help people who need both surgeries or who couldn't be treated with endoscopy alone.
This trial is comparing two types of keyhole surgery for removing the gallbladder: one done with a robot and the other with standard laparoscopic tools. The goal is to find out which technique leads to a better recovery and fewer complications for people with non-cancerous gallbladder problems like gallstones or polyps.
This study tests whether removing the gallbladder through a single small cut (single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy) is safe and effective for people with acute cholecystitis (sudden gallbladder inflammation). It may mean less pain and faster recovery than traditional surgery.
